For anyone who doesn't understand whats going on here, this is called music. LOL!!! Damn that thing sounds so awesome and very ballsy.

[@erichaley4485]

Boy! I bet that Eagle will definitely get on down the road with that powerplant.

[@wazza33racer]

6V92 was widely believed in heavy trucks to be nearly indestructible.

[@charlieperry26]

feeling the love here. the sound reminds me of one of the fire trucks we had in my home town volunteer department. good memories.

[@65bug519]

every city bus bus driver on the planet beat on these things up till the 90s

[@Romans--bo7br]

65bug519.... No, what they "beat up on".... were 6V71's Not 6V92's..... and 6 & 4-71's during the late 1940's through late 1960's and early 1970's.

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

A lot of them were 8V71 Detroits, without turbos. That city busses here in Milwaukee used them until the late 80's-early 90's. Loud, slow, and smoky. The drivers just floored them, and they growled in protest..

[@NO-LAN]

This is the perfect engine for a single axle cab over. have the turbos gaming out the back of the cab and running right up into the stacks.

[@35057]

Man that is s a sick rebuild! Props! I'd love to hear it under load!

[@ScDMiller1]

They are very reliable engines (Detroit diesel ). My dad used to sell them, along with Allison transmission to companies that made fire trucks, school buses, city transit buses, etc. They made versions for the military. This was back in the day that Detroit Diesel engines and Allison transmission was basically made by the same company, General Motors, although the factories were in different locations. They don't make them like they used to, unless it's this guy (rebuilds). I don't live far from where they still build Allison transmissions today, in Indianapolis.

[@Romans--bo7br]

Scott Miller..... Detroit Diesel is currently Still producing 6V53's and 8V92's for the US military and other military's around the world. They were also still producing 8V71T/TA's up until 2013. Yes, they were, and still are... Very Reliable engines... Much More so, than the overly complicated 4 cycles of today.

[@Uncle-Duncan-Shack]

The blowers are for aspiration, the motor is boosted by feeding the intake to the blowers from turbo's. The rest I like, tidy build with very nice detailing. And by the way, have some CO2 fire extinguishers standing around to spray into the air intake in the case of a runaway. That stalls the motor and don't mess anything up. Nice vid on the Detroit, they are awesome classics.

[@oillease1881]

I was just thinking about a runaway. I nominate Elon Musk to be stuffed into the intake. Yee Haww!

[@AUSSIETRAINDRIVER]

it needs some load, let those turbos sing!

[@ModelingSteelinHO]

Damn,this Detroit sounds good.

[@Kelsv8s]

Very nice Shoey, Your my first port of call when the keys of my mates 75 SAR Screemin Gimmy powered Kenny are in my hands.

[@bladenrexroth2555]

repower my army 5 ton!!!

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

That'd double the HP. Your best bet is to get a used driving firetruck/ Municipal equipment at auction and swap out both engine and transmission, just have to fab some mounts and a driveshaft..

[@TheMetalButcher]

Nice and clean I like it.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

Awesome Video!🎥

[@jaarryifleshblood315]

No black smoke. That’s a big plus

[@georgerdz5463]

Excelente motor, de mis favoritos.

[@n5ifi]

never seen an electronic 2 stroke Cool

[@JoeHupp]

They made these electronic as they were made along side the Series 60 which was the first ever electronically controlled heavy duty diesel engine

[@edissonbonillaoviedo6031]

Que BELLEZA de motor

[@greathodgy22]

Excellent !

[@jesseturnip]

Oh my God, oh my God, I need that in my bus. Please please build me one.

[@astro1218]

Sounds very nice. Whats the pump on the front of the cranks job ?

[@enumrob771]

How much more efficient is the DECC controlled engine compared to the old non computer 6V92 ? How difficult was it to adapt this engine to modern electronic engine management systems or is it now a much different engine than the original.

[@josephheston9238]

If it's a twin turbo, then it would be a 6V92TTA (one "T" per turbo). Anyhoo, great engine.

[@Detroit8V92tta]

Or the "Tailored Torque" option.

[@andrewking9761]

Sorry mate but a TT on a Detroit Diesel stands for "Tailored torque" and A for aftercooling. Sorry to be smartarse but I've read hundreds of Detroit truck books etc owned a really good 6-71 in a truck I was restoring at my mums place . That ended up in the scrap heap just after I converted it to hydraulic steering being an old trruck because these rich arseholes do whatever they want because they they know we can't afford lawyers like they can to fight anything that that they do. Never mind my next project will survive and this time I'll get a 6-71T in a medium sized semi like an R600 mack something toitally different. Cheers from Australia

[@josephheston9238]

@@andrewking9761 No problem.

[@TheCRTman]

Looks and sounds awesome! Instead of an Allison World, you should put an Allison HTB-748 for maximum awesomeness.

What

[@michaelyates8904]

I'm building a race truck and this is what I'm in need of 1000 hp 6v92 can you do it

[@Krossf1re]

How did you mod a DDEC v92? It isn’t as simple as injector + turbo changes on a mechanical. Been trying to upgrade my 6V for awhile. Injector choices aren’t as straightforward or easy to come by.

[@skyhighcustoms1993]

What size turbos did you use and what other mods

[@andrewking4885]

How can you do 140 ks with 4.88 diffs? I don't know if Allisons have an overdrive or not. Awesome engine though.

[@toddvrooman3872]

What size turbos are you running. I need some good ideas on twins for my 6v92T.

[@RayRay5776]

Would love to have one of these engines in a coach

[@Romans--bo7br]

@@RayRay5776.... you and every other coach owner... but, just one problem... older coaches have an antithetical "issue" with high output engines - poor radiator air flow and not enough coring.... that, and depending on what year coach you have... the trans & drive train may not be able to handle it.

[@stewartlambert7547]

Gday do you still rebuild engines ?

[@thirdroompro]

I have a 1980 MCI MC9 bus with an 8V71 in it. Would this Turbo fit in it? Also, can a turbo be added to a NON turbo engine?

[@andrewking4885]

Yes but you have to change the pistons to 18:7 to 1 and turbo oil feed line

[@jamesfrench7299]

Setting aside fuel use, what were the practical advantages of a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke apart from their reliability. I am guessing power for their dimensions.

[@andrewking4885]

Power to weight ratio. Do know of any other brand of Diesel of 350-400 that's as compact as this.?

[@aeronshameljr7019]

who,s the best Detroit engine mech, u 👁️on line here in America? I want to put ah 16v92 in cabover kW or Pete 74to 86 will it fit ?

[@raygale4198]

Not sure if it will fit in a cabover, but a 16V92 TT will fit in a '82 bonneted Peterbuilt, ;-) A farmer friend of mine has converted an industrial DDEC engine back into mechanical governing and after lengthening the chassis and doubling the chassis rails to handle the extra weight and torque it's nearly finished. I have to make the electrics work now, it was an American left hand drive with a 6 cyl electronic Cat engine. It's now right hand drive in Australia with the GM. It has been built to 'road train' spec and will be triple tipper bodies on dollies with a GCM weight around 110 Tons. He grows grain and there are some hills between between his farm and the rail silos, he likes to keep to a schedule.

[@nickdere6669]

what does something like this cost?

[@kimnielsenthewordyvikingett159]

It's 6v92tta not 6v92ta. Those two turbo boosts are vastly undersized for that baby girl 400 ponies?? No wonder.

[@rajkiranthomas3579]

Why did they stop 2 stroke diesels????

[@RobertsVintageGardenTractors]

Raj Kiran Thomas, Because of poor emissions.

[@rajkiranthomas3579]

Horse-A-Holics Anonymous But look at this engine. It has literally no smoke at all. Why don't they R&D low emission engines. Since 2 stroke has better torque cuz there's a stroke on every revolution, if its developed it could be more fuel efficient.

[@Detroit8V92tta]

They were a little bit thirsty too which pains me to say. 😕

[@jeffreygardner8737]

[@michaelyates8904]

How munch for a engine

[@agustinreyes2920]

Cómo puedo adtarle el otro turbo a un fowar mecanico

[@meade4573]

That would be a 6v92TTA not a 6v93TA

[@ThePaulv12]

TT in Detroit Diesel parlance means Tailored Torque. It was part of DDEC (Detroit Diesel Electronic Control). It doesn't mean twin turbo though in generator and marine application they did have twin turbo engines. Here's a (top link below) 16V71 NA (NA = Detroit Diesel parlance for Naturally Aspirated). After watching this fantastically interesting teardown you'll be better informed than 98% of the morons making stupid comments on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKO3XnWXm7Zgm8k&lc=z22rutz50o3syjr1racdp432ywimqukckluwem1ije1w03c010c.1546782992620943 Here is a Silver Series 8V92TTA (same author as the above vid). Note the single turbo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIipc2Bsaq5or8U

[@benjaminturpin2749]

No tt stands for tailored torque. Look it up

[@johntilsley9271]

[@timmayer8723]

Two stroke engines, gas or diesel can't meet modern emissions regulations for the US. That means no more two stroke diesels or outboard motors or motorcycles with two stroke technology. I am not aware of two stroke engines being used in aircraft.

[@joeberk3029]

Look up Rotax aircraft engines.

[@toomanyhobbies2011]

Sorry, but this should have been about a one minute video. Cool, but far too long.
